| Jul 8, 2022 at 17:30 | comment | added | Dejan Toteff | Thank you @JonathanScholbach as that seems like the most logical conclusion. Half of the audience weren't native speakers so it makes sense to use this technique to increase the spirit. | |
| Jul 8, 2022 at 17:04 | comment | added | Jonathan Herrera♦ | @DejanToteff Best guess is that the person presenting had created that word. This explains why nobobody knows it; it also explains the laughing - it was a good joke to use a feature of the German language that many learnes of German fear, in order to create an overly complex, long and hairy word to denotate the fear of a potentially hairy process. | |

| Jul 8, 2022 at 16:01 | comment | added | Dejan Toteff | It still bugs me that nobody know this, so I might had been taken for a ride :) Anyway, thank you for the answer and I will accept it as it answers my question. | |
| Jul 8, 2022 at 14:18 | comment | added | Carsten S | @DejanToteff, it is of course possible that there is such a word that I am just not aware of :) | |
| Jul 8, 2022 at 14:15 | comment | added | Dejan Toteff | thank you for the explanation. I guess I had the wrong impression, as I though that it is a word that is somehow part of the common IT knowledge. There was shared laughter in the audience as the word is both correct and long :) | |
